Terry,
Hope you marked the followers,lash adjusters with the cylinder and position they came from
I havent done anything yet, i am just planning.
Trevor,
Hmmm...So what LIM is everyone using then on their 3.0L? Or is that not the concern because they are using the 2.5 heads and the valve covers for the 2.5 heads will allow use of the 2.5 LIM and UIM?
Warmonger is using the 2.5L heads, and I guess I could always try to reduce compression by having the machine shop that does the P&P job reshape the combustion chamber to lower compression. I just dont want to run around with really high compression.
Warmonger did say to get the 35mm intake valves out of the 3.0 head and put them in the intake of the 2.5 head, as well as use the 32mm 2.5L intake valves and move them over to the exhaust side. this should allow the 2.5 head to flow just as much as the 3.0 head....
I want to keep the SVT manifolds that i have, so it looks like i will have to go with the 2.5 heads and port match the two manifolds together as well as to the heads for optimum flow....
Im also not to keen about making a scoop in a stock hood to accomodate the larger UIM. At some point in time i wish to get a full carbon fibre hood, and theres no way Im gonna cut up a $700+ hood to make a scoop. I am hoping that a local shop that a fellow SoCal NECO guy has contacted will be making a replica of the Cougar S concept car hood, which had a small scoop in the back. If they make that hood then I will buy it.....
